What size tank?

72 gallon bow front with a 20 gallon sump,, I was looking at getting the 220 gallon model

If you want to spend under $200, look at Somatic 60, Simplicity 120. There are other options as well

I've never read anything positive about Coralife skimmers

Not without doing a few mods anyway.

This looks suspiciously similar to the terrible G220 skimmer. I would avoid and look at Bubble Magus skimmers which tend to work well and will be well within your budget for your tank size.

I also recommend Bubble Magus. My Curve 5 works very well on my 50 gallon system.

Just set up a sca302 and it's skimming after less than 24 hours! A beast with great reviews for under$200.

Well I unfortunately ordered the 220 gallon one before any replies to this post and it will be here weds either I'm going to send it back and order that sca302 or take my chances and try it out there are mixed reviews about it so will see
